Gunboard article on the P14 Navy

[Jasta2]

Does it bother me? No if one takes it in context. What I enjoyed is the story of the U-boat captain. A tall tale to tell! All the rest is basically B.S. Still it's interesting as to how others ( most likely do not own one) like to invent their own stories badmouthing Lugers. If one does not know the facts, just make them up. In discussing my Lugers with a diehard 1911 fan ( not representing all 1911 fans of which I am) told me that Luger were pretty much junk. I ask if he ever shot one much less owning one? He said no. I ask if he would like to shoot mine? He declined. Wonder why.

The entire story about the captain is total fiction, just like the rest of the article. Well, he was the captain of that sub for one voyage, and they did spell his name correctly, Other than that, pure BS.
